Today, we discussed the novella Animal Farm. You discussed (in pairs), the theme and summary of the novel. You also handed in your questions. We then discussed the "so what?" about the theme. The question posed to you (in groups) was, "power can corrupt... so... what are we supposed to do about it?
From here, we brainstormed, applied the theme to other situations, and looked at possible outcomes of the two most applied "so what" decisions: ignoring it and rebelling. When it came to rebelling, we determined that, like the animals, rules are needed to ensure the smooth running of a society, but, unlike the animals, we arrived at the reality that enforcement of the rules is also necessary to protect our freedoms.
